So, I'm faced with a bunch of 360k floppy drives. One of them I will put
in my main desktop machine for replicating floppies for, say, my C64,
Kaypro, etc. What should I look for when choosing such a drive? The best
specimen I have right now was taken from a Morrow Micro-Decision.
According to the tag, it's a "TEC FB-503". Can someone tell me something
about this?
By the way, I have an IBM-branded full-height Tandon that I will trade for
the "ideal" half-height.

I have a collection of drive but my go to drives are the TEAC 55B
for 360K, and 55FG for 720k/1.2M.
